I'm a Gen X'er, but totally get into the Gen Y'er mode of technology
Even though I'm 44 and teach Photoshop & Web Design, I'm a Gen X'er, but totally get into the Gen Y'er mode of technology, I love it! I even see the multi tasking part of the Gen Y'er in me over the past 5 years, I can't stay on one thing and focus I need to check Google for a other thing I'm doing, and check my email for my web design clients, while I'm grading a class I just taught.
As these gentlemen have indicated I'm into multi-tasking as long as I'm not interrupted. Too many distractions cause a loss of focus. Also I try never to exceed more than three tasks as efficiency drops dramatically.
I know what you mean. As a Baby Boomer, I am on the digital divide but am so glad the younger generation can keep me up to date with their smartphones (as long as I can still "BS" them sometimes)
